Bakura knew of only pain within his life. From when his mother died to this
very moment. It's been painful to see how everyone was living normal, happy
lives as his father left for years and years to Egypt, and as he was
severely beaten by a trinket that hung about his neck. He told himself that
he should be used to it. Bullies, Ryou, friends have all hurt him
physically and mentally. He thinks to himself does that matter? My life as
a punching bag. He looked up and saw Yugi and Yami speaking with Malik and
Marik. 'I'm going to be the death of all mankind' He thought 'all because I
read a book.' He knew that he caused more trouble than he means to. At the
duelist kingdom, almost sent his friends to an eternity in the shadow
realm, trying to use Mokuba as his new body, stealing the millenium eye.
Also in the recent days almost killed every one of his friends. He thought
of avoiding Yugi and the others, but Ryou wouldn't allow that. Ryou was in
charge not Bakura. But now Ryou has lost his place within Bakuras mind and
it is now occupied by Dekai fowl, a spirit who can't do anything but order
you around till 11:00 PM tonight. Bakura felt weak listening to Fowl for he
couldn't hurt him. He knew that Dekai can't hurt him in anyway possible.
But then why was he listening to it? Then it struck him. He had no choice
on the matter. It was help or help. Bakura's mind is now filled with spots
of darkness. From Ryou and Dekai. Only a corner bit of his mind was light
and warm. No shadows. That was where he kept refuge. Hiding in the corners
of his mind letting every spirit or mortal walk over him.
"Bakura?" Yugi said to the dazed boy. He didn't relpy. "Bakura?!" He said louder
He snapped out of his trance and looked up at Yugi's eyes. "I'm sorry, I was just thinking of what might happen, tonight."
"Well every spirit and item holder would be in the park by 12:00 AM." Yami said picking up the rod
"12:00." Bakura muttered to himself.
"The park!" Yugi shouted, "I forgot I was meeting everyone in the park." Yugi, Yami and Bakura ran out the door a few seconds later Malik decided to follow as well. He had nothing better to do.
They reached the park in 2 min. When Malik got there everything was explained to Tea and Tristan. But Joey had a hard time figuring it out.
"Ok a crystal moon that comes once a millennia freed all the spirits and tonight at 12 every spirit and item holder will be here doin a ceremony?" Joey tried to sort it out
"Well not a ceremony. Just when the spirits all get there if someone is sacrificed then every spirit would disappear leaving the magic to the one who sacrificed a human child. Ages 5-16 to be a little more specific." Yami added
"Right.so everyone's gonna be here, tonight, at 12 to sacrifice a kid?" Joey still didn't understand
"No we have to stop that and when the 12th bell strikes at midnight and no one is sacrificed then everything would return to normal." Yami corrected Joey again
"Ah..I see. So who would sacrifice some kid?" Joey asked
"Well only one person has ever tried to take all the magic and that man was, Dekai Fowl. Luckily we sealed his soul away in." Yami said
"The Book of Shi-ne." As Yami said it Bakura muttered it to himself
'His soul was sealed long ago and a foolish boy let him out' Bakura thought to himself
'Now now. I don't think of you as foolish.' Dekai spoke into Bakura's mind 'You freed me from my hardcover prison. And I thank you now and for later.'
'Can't you just leave me be?' Bakura said
'You read the book. You know exactly why I can't ~leave you be~'
Dekai was right Bakura read the book and knew why he couldn't escape. The book stated:
He who frees the Fowl from his cage will hold the burden of being his slave. Now read these words which I write are true. From free to leash will come of you.
I hold this cage above my head Where the burden shall surely rest Don't think this all a trick For when its over it will make you tick From day to night, sun to moon I bid you good luck in your mindless tomb For the Fowl is free It within me I take my life Whether by rope or knife This burden you shall surely see
Bakura thought nothing of it when he read it. But the next morning not only has Ryou escaped from his soul room but a new occupant has arrived.
'I hold this cage above my head, where the burden shall surely rest.' Bakura thought
"Hello! Bakura!" Tristan waved his hand over Bakura's face and he snapped back to reality again
"This is the third time you did that Bakura." Yugi laughed
"Bakura?" Yugi said to the dazed boy. He didn't relpy. "Bakura?!" He said louder
He snapped out of his trance and looked up at Yugi's eyes. "I'm sorry, I was just thinking of what might happen, tonight."
